The Matrix Online Interview

Gamecloud has conducted an interview with Warner Brothers’ Jason Hall, in which they discuss the sale of The Matrix Online to Sony Online Entertainment. Here’s a taste:

Q: First, The Matrix Online was officially launched less than three months ago. Why was the decision made to move its continuing development to Sony Online and why was it done so soon after its launch?

A: WBIE wanted this acquisition to be beneficial for our paying subscribers, and we are convinced that our work with Sony will deliver on that promise through a combination of our content and their enthusiastic experiences in the growing game. Like any expanding business, we are always looking for new opportunities to explore with getting our creative game content to the most consumers possible. Our partnership on The Matrix Online with SOE is beneficial to us in not only allowing us to combine our strengths and work closely together, but also in helping grow our overall relationship. More gamers will now be exposed to The Matrix Online, and SOE will continue running The Matrix Online at the high level players have enjoyed the game.
